On May 30, the House of Representatives finished its consideration of H.R. 4660, the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations for FY 2015. The final vote in favor of passage was 321 - 87.

NSF's overall appropriated level would be $7.394 billion, an increase of $222.3 million (3 percent) over our current operating levels (CP), and $139 million (1.9 percent) above the President's request.

An amendment was adopted that reduced the Agency Oversight and Award Management (AOAM) account by $10 million and added it to strengthening the national instant background check system. An earlier amendment adopted in the Appropriations Committee consideration, further reduced the account by $5 million to aid in salmon recovery efforts.
